Domaine de Clovallon
Over 10 years ago, architect, Catherine Roque, bought a house with vines and orchards, on the edge of Faugères, one of the finest appellations in Southern France. At this time, the area was considered too cold and northerly for appellation status. Catherine used this to her advantage planting non-appellation grape varieties – Pinot Noir, Clairette, Riesling, Petit Marseng – and producing, from them, very good Vin de Pays. Recently acquiring very old low yield vines, the highest in the appellation, she now also grows traditional regional grape varieties, producing fine appellation wines. Thanks to its non-AOC designation, Catherine is able to experiment with officially unrecognised and unusual grape varieties such as the Petit Manseng, Viognier and Chardonnay, which she uses in her white wines, and the Pinot Noir she uses in two of her red cuvees. Domaine de Clovallon wines are certified as being fully organic.

Domaine de Clovallon - Joli Cantel / 2002 / White
£ 9.95
Made from a certain grape which is not to our knowledge grown anywhere else in the South of France (and not officially permitted), this wine is rich and full of texture with crisp acidity and lovely fresh apple fruit. Learn More
Domaine de Clovallon - Chardonnay / 2003 / White
£ 9.95
An extremely complex example of a Chardonnay this wine shows exotic fruit aromas, litchis and pineapple, with a hint of jasmine and gives way to grilled almonds and fresh butter as it ages. Learn More
Domaine de Clovallon - Pinot Noir / 2008 / Red
£ 11.25
An intensely fruity Pinot Noir with ripe tannins and beautiful balance, the relatively young vines are grown on north facing slopes so as to retain elegance and freshness. Learn More
Domaine de Clovallon - Palagret / 2008 / Red
£ 12.95
Sold Out
These grape varieties are a marriage made in heaven. The blend of Syrah with it’s tannic structure and the finesse of the Pinot Noir makes for an extremely elegant wine which will complement all kinds of dishes. Cherry and raspberry fruit on the nose give way to a rounded palette with red fruit and spice. Learn More
Domaine de Clovallon - Les Aires / 2008 / White
£ 13.50
Similar in style to wines from Condrieu and in our opinion better than most, this wine is by far the best Viognier we have tasted from the Languedoc. The north facing slopes at high altitudes in the Haut Languedoc along with Catherine's hard work in the vineyard and minimum intervention make this fine and delicate wine it is. Peach, pear and citrus notes on the nose give way to a creamy, delicate yet complex palate with a clean and long finish. A truly excellent wine. Learn More
Domaine de Clovallon - Les Pomarèdes / 2006 / Red
£ 15.75
Sold Out
Made from 100% Pinot Noir from ancient vines, has a complex nose with red fruit and spice and an equally complex and perfumed palate with morello cherries, spice and cocoa. An unusual and stunning example of Pinot Noir in the Languedoc. Learn More
Domaine de Clovallon - Les Aurièges / 2006 / White
£ 15.75
A blend of all the white grapes, this wine combines fruit and rich complexity with the acidic bite that many white Languedoc wines fail to achieve. It holds its own with substantial dishes including foie gras and seafood with sauces. Learn More
Domaine de Clovallon - Les Grains de Folie / 2001 / White / 50 cl
£ 15.95
This naturally sweet wine made from very ripe Muscat and Clairette grapes is lightly honeyed, complex, beautifully balanced and is a delight to drink. Learn More
